Arts + Literature Laboratory in Madison, Wisconsin seeks works for OFF THE WALL: a nighttime, outdoor screening series of contemporary video art.

OFF THE WALL aims to present a survey of the most compelling and innovative moving image works from a broad cross-section of artists—local to international, emerging to mid-career. In its inaugural year, OFF THE WALL 2016 featured works by 35 artists, selected out of 450 submissions from 50 countries. Works variously explored themes of internet culture, memory, language, identity, war, and the environment, through an equally diverse array of forms, including experimental documentary, stop-motion, video collage, 2D and 3D animation, and documentation of performance.

For more information, including guidelines for submission, terms of agreement, and application forms, consult the OFF THE WALL 2017 page at the Arts + Literature Laboratory website.

For as little as $9.95 a month you can see a movie a day in Madison’s first-run theater. James Kreul looks back at a month in Madison’s cinemas and wonders about the impact of such models on the future of the industry.
